WA^SHINGTON WHEN HE TOOK COMMAND OP THE ARMY. 



A GREAT CONVENIENCE! 

It is a very cominou thing for a lady to say, when she has been well fitted to a pair 
of Boots or Shoes. 

"I WISH YOlJ WOUID KEEP MY SIZE.' 



That request could be very easily 
er's name was stamped upon the 
but bv the customer herself. Every 
FIRST CLASS GOOI>S 

tomers know how they may be 
the same size tliat fits the foot at 




complied with if the nianufactur- 
goods. not only by the salesman 
dealer in Boots and Shoes of the 
should be willing t ) let his ens- 
fitted the next time with exactly 
first. 



NO TWO MANUFACTURER'S BOOTS OR SHOES ARE AEIKE, 

if the marks for the size be the same ; every manufacturer has his own whims abou* 
his lasts. It has been the intention of the subscriber to conform to the 

FRENCH STYEE 
of Boots and Shoes, from his first start in business, and the goods have always com- 
manded a higher price than any other Boots or Shoes in the market. 

The great thing about a Boot or Shoe is to have it fie well and feel like an old Boot 
or Shoe. Goods of this kind will not stretch out of shape ; the ditt'erenee in the price 
is not to be thought of when the comfort and durabilitv are taken into account. 

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT 
has been made in the goods the last six months. 

There are many retail dealers who, in consequence of the representations of certain 
manufacturers, tell their customers, 

"WE DO NOT KEEP THE KIMBAEE BOOT, BUT WE HAVE SOME 

THAT ARE MADE ON THE KIMBAEE EAST." 

In answer to this, I hereby inform the eo7)suiners, as well as the dealer, that the 

"KIMBAEE EAST," 

ivith its various improvements, is used in niy factory ONEY, and not elsewhere in the 

United Slates. 

JOHN KIMBALL, 
There arc no new goods in the market without our stamp.

1765. 

March 8.— Stampact passed, which de- 
clared that no legal instrument of writing 
should be valid unless it bore a Britisli 
stamp. The feelings of the people were so 
intense against this act, that in [several 
cities mobs and violence ensued. The 
stamps were seized and burned, and the 
distributors, who were appointed by the 
Crown to sell them, were insulted and de- 
spised on the street, and, when the law 
was to take etlect, there were no otticials 
with courage enough to enforce it. 

1766. 

March 18.— Stamp act repealed. In 
London this was an occasion of great re- 
joicing ; and in America bontires and il- 
luminations attested the feelings of the 
masses of the people. 

Jfuiie. — Miuiny act. British troops sent 
to America, and an act passed by ir'ariia- 
ment providing lor their partial subsist- 
ence on the colonies. The appearance of 
these troops in jNew York, and the order 
to feed and shelter them, occasioned vio- 
lent outbreaks of the people in that city, 
and burning indignationail over the laud. 

1767. 

June 29. — A tax imposed upon tea, 
glass, paper, painters' colors, etc., and a, 
bill passed forbidding the New York As- 
sembly to legislate until it shoulu comply 
witli the mutiny act of 176(3. The people 
boldly resisted these acts of oppression. 
Circulars were issued to the Assemblies 
from Massachusetts asking their co-opera- 
tion in obtaining a redress of grievances. 
The (Governor of Massachusetts, in the 
king's name, was instructed to command 
tUe Assembly to rescind its actions, but in 
June, IJbS, it unanimously voted nut tu 
rescind. 

1768. 

Jan. 30, — Petition of the Massachu- 
setts Assemljly to the King ot Engiaiul, 
against the late tax on trade in the ^A.incn- 
caii colonies. 

First Methodist church in America 
biult in New York. 

May. — Commissioners of Customs, to 
collect duties, arrive in Boston. Tiieyare 
regarded with much contempt, and it was 
diuicult to restrain the excitable portion 
of the population from committing per- 
sonal violence.

Boston, belonging to John Hancock (one 
of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- 
peiulence), witli a cargo of Madeira wine.

IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY. 



The Commissioners demanded duties. It 
was refused, and they seized the vessel. 
The news spread over Boston, and the 
people resolved on resistance. The Com- 
missioners were assailed by a mob, their 
houses damaged ; and they were obliged 
to seek safety in Castle William, a small 
foi^ress about 3 miles S. E. from Boston. 
Sept. 27.— British troops land in Bos- 
ton, 700 strong, and with drums beating 
and colors flying, they marched to the

American Philosophical Society, at 
Philadelphia, founded. 

1770. 

March 5. — Boston Massacre. A rope- 
maker quarreled with a soldier (March 
2), and struck him. From this a tight 
ensued between several soldiers and rope- 
makers, in which the latter were beaten. 
A few evenings afterward (Marcii 5), 
about 700 excited inhabitants assembled 
in the streets for the purpose of attacking 
the soldiers. A sentinel was attacked 
near the Custom House, when Captain 
Preston, commander of tlie guard, went 
to his rescue, with eight armed men, irri- 
tated and assailed by the mob, the sol- 
diers fired upon the citizens, killed three 
and dangerously wounded five. The 
mob instantly retreated, when all the 
bells of the city rang an alarm, and in 
less than an hour several thousand exas- 
perated citizens were on the streets. Gov. 
Hutchinson assured the people that jus- 
tice would be done in the morning, and 
thus prevented further bloodshed. Capt. 
Preston and six of his men were tried and 
acquitted by a Boston jury. Two other 
soldiers were found guilty of manslaugh- 
ter, and the troops were removed to Cas- 
tle William. 

April 12. — All duties except on tea re- 
pealed. 

Sept. SO.— George Whitefield, founder 
of the Calvinistic Metliodipts, died, aged 
56 years.

Regulators formed in North Carolina to 
resist British taxation and oppression. In 
1768 the people of North Carolina were 
taxed f!75,000 by Gov. Tryon to build him a 
house at Newbern. 

Ulay 16. — Tlie Regulators subdued and 
dispersed by Gov. Tryon, after hanging 
six of the loaders. 

1772. 
June 9. — Destruction of the British 
armed schooner Gaspe. This vessel was

Hill, where lay 1,500 Americans awaiting 
their approach. Gen. Prescott ordered his 
men to aim at the waistband of the Brit- 
ish and to pick off their officers, whose 
fine clothes would distinguish them ; and 
when the British column was within ten 
rods of the redoubt lie shouted fire ! The 
British were repulsed and fell back in con- 
fusion, but were soon rallied for a second 
attack, and were again repulsed and scat- 
tered in all directions. Howe now was re- 
inforced by General Clinton, the fugitives 
rallied and they rushed up to the redoubt 
in the face of a galling fire. For ten mi- 
nutes the battle raged fearfully, when the 
ammunition of the Americans became 
exhausted and the firing ceased. The 
British then scaled the bank and com- 
pelled the Americans to retreat, while 
they fought fiercely with clubbed mus- 
kets. The British took possession of Bun- 
ker Hill and fortified it, but withal could 
ckiiir. no great victory. The American

scenes occurred on board several old 
hulks, which were anchored in the waters

ity of its officers. T'rom these vessels,

carried ashore during the war, and buried

while the British loss was about 800 killed 
and wounded. 

Oct. 7.— Battle of Saratoga. Another 
battle was fought between Burgoyne 
and Gates on the same ground occupied 
19th of September, and, after a severe 
struggle, Burgoyne was compelled to fall 
back to the heights of Saratoga, leaving 
the Americans in possession of the field. 

Oct. 13 Kingston, N. Y., burned. 

General Clinton, who was to reinforce 
Burgoyne at Saratoga, sends marauding 
parties through the country, and burns 
Kingston. Being informed of Burgoyne's 
surrender, he retreats to New York. — 
[While the American forces were re- 
gathering, a man from the P>ritish army 
was arrested on suspicion of laeing a spy. 
He was seen to swallow something. An 
emetic brought it up and it was discovered 
to be a hollow silver bullet, containing a 
dispatch from Clinton to Burgoyne written 
on thin paper. That bullet is yet in the 
family of George Clinton, who was the 
first Republican Governor of New York.] 
Oct. 17.— liurgoyne surrenders his 
whole army, numViering 5,791, to Gen. 
Gates, at Saratoga, N. Y. 

Oct. 22 Fort Mercer on the De- 
laware river,was attacked by 2,000 Hessian 
grenadiers, under Count Donop, and were 
repulsed by a garrison of 500 men, under 
Lieut. Col. Green. Hessians' loss 400. 
Ponop was terribly wounded and taken 
to the house of a Quaker near by, where 
he expired. He was buried beneath the 
fort. A few yenrs ago his bones were dis- 
interred and his skull wt>s taken posses- 
sion of by a New .Jersey physician. 

Nov. 9. — Howe's army goes into winter 
quarters at Philadelphia. 

Nov. 16. — American garrison abandon 
Fort Mifflin, and two days after, British 
ships sail up to Philadelphia. 

Dec. 4. — Gen. Howe marched out to 
attack Washington, expecting to take 
him by surprise, but a Quaker lady 
of Philadelphia, who liad overheard Bri- 
tish officers talking about tliis enterprise 
at her house, gave Washington timely in- 
formation, and ho was too well prepared 
for Howe to fear his menaces. After 
some skirmishes, in which several Ame- 
ricans were lost, Howe returned to Phila- 
delphia. 

Dec. 11. — Washington goes into winter 
quarters at Valley iForge. This was a 
gloomy winter to the Patriot army. Con- 
tinental money was so depreciated in 
value, that an officer's pay would not keep 
him in clothes. The men were camped 
in cold, comfortless huts, with little food 
or clothing. Barefooted, they left on the 
frozen ground their tracks in blood. 
Few had l)lankets, .'ind straw could not be 
obtained. Soldiers, weak from liunger 
and l)enumbed by cold, slept on the bare 
earth, with no change of clothing and no 
suitable food ; sickness soon followed, and 
with no medicine to administer to their 
complaints, many found relief from their 
sufferings in death. 

Dec. 1«.— Independence of the United 
States acknowledged by France.

IMPORTANT EVENTS OP THE CENTURY. 



Dec. 18.— Constitution of North Caro- 
lina adopted. 

During this year Vermont was claimed 
by both New York and New Hampshire, 
as a part of their territory, but the people 
met in convention and pro(^laimed them- 
selves free, independent, and separate 
States. After purchasing the claims of 
New York, for $30,000, Vermont was ad- 
mitted into the Union, Feb. 18, 1791. 

1778. 

Feb. 6.— Treaty of alliance was formed 
with France, by which the French and 
Americans became united against the 
British Government. 

Marcli 30. — American Commissioners 
were received at the Court of France as 
the representatives of a sister nation ; an 
event which was considered in Europe, at 
that time, as the most important which 
had occurred in the annals of America 
since its tirst discovery by Columbus. 

jflay 7. — Salutes were hred by the army 
at Valley Forge, in honor of the event of 
tlie treaty of alliance with France, and, 
by order of Washington, shouts and huz- 
zas were proclaimed for the King of 
France. 

June 18. — Howe's army evacuate 
Philadelphia, and retreat towards New 
Yorlv. 

June 38.— The battle of Monmouth 
was fought on a Sabbath day. It was one 
of the most sultry ever known when the 
t\^o armies met in contlict, which raged 
from 9 A.M. until dark. Many soldiers 
on both sides fell from the excessive heat 
of the da3', and when night came they 
were glad to rest. The British were com- 
manded by Gen. Clinton, and the Ameri- 
cans by vVashington. The Americans 
intended to renew the fight on the morn- 
ing of the ;i9th, but found the enemy's 
camp deserted. The British left about 
300 killed on the field of battle, and a 
large number of sick and wounded. 
Auierican loss in killed, wounded, and 
missing, 228. Many of the missing re- 
turned to I he army, and the killed was 
less than 70. 

J Illy 5.— Massacreof Wyoming. About 
l,(iOO Indians and Tories, under command 
of Butler and Brant, appeared on the 
banks of the Susquehanna, and com- 
pelled two of the forts nearest to the 
frontier to surrender to them. The sav- 
ages spared the women and children, but 
butchered the rest of their prisoners with- 
out exception. They then surrounded 
Fort Kingston, and to dismay the garri- 
son, hurled into the place 200 scalps still 
reeking with blood. The garrison was 
overpowered by the savages, and com- 
pelled to surrender. The prisoners, com- 
posed of men, women, and children, were 
then enclosed in houses and barracks, 
wliich were set on fire, and the miserable 
wretches were %bon consumed by the 
flames. The whole Wyoming valley, 
consisting of eiglit towns on the Susque- 
hanna, suffered the same destruction of 
life and property, and none escaped but a 
few women and children, and tiiese dis-

persed and wandered about through the 
forests without food and without clothes 
until starved to death. 

July 8. — Count D'Estaing, of the 
French navy, arrives in the Delaware 
with a large fleet, causing Howe to re- 
treat with his vessels to the waters of 
Amboy or Karitan bay. 

Aug. 12. — Count D'Estaing sailetl out 
of Newport harbor, Rhode Island, to en- 
gage the British fleet in command of 
Howe, but a terrible storm arose and dis- 
abled botli fleets, and the French squadron 
returned to Newport and sailed to Boston 
for repairs. [Very old people of Rhode 
Island used to speak of this gale as the 
great storm. So violent was the wind 
that it brought spray from the ocean a 
mile distant, and incrusted the windows 
of the town with salt. j 

Aug. 29.— Battle of Quaker Hill, 
Rhode Island, in which the Americans 
lost 30 killed and 172 wounded and miss- 
ing. Britisli loss about 22u. 

Sept. 22.— Paul Jones' naval battle. 
The engagement lasted from seven in the 
morning until ten at night. The contest 
was flerce and desperate. Paul .Jones, in 
commandof the American flotilla, flndmg 
the enemy's guns longer than his, brought 
his ships so close, until the muzzles of his 
guns came in contact with those of his 
enemy. The magazine of the British 
ship Serapis blew up, set fire to the vessel 
and communicated the flames to Jones' 
vessel. In the midst of this the American 
frigate Alliance came up, and mistaking 
her partner, fired a broadside into the 
vessel of Jones; but soon discovered her 
mistake and turned her guns upon the 
enemy. The British crew were killed or 
wounded, the Serapis on fire (but the 
flames were afterward subdued) and the 
frigate Countess of Scarborough captured 
by the Americans. Paul Jones came oft' 
victorious. His vessel (the Goodman 
Richard) was so badly crippled that it 
soon sunk; and of the crew of 365, only 
68 were left alive. Jones, after this vic- 
tory, wandered with his unmanageable 
vessel for some time, and at length, on 
the 6th of October found his way into the 
waters of the Texel. 

Nov. 11. — Cherry Valley, New York, 
attacked by Indians and Tories. Many 
of the people were killed and carried into 
captivity, and for an area of a hundred 
miles around the village, desolation, ruin, 
and destruction prevailed for months. 

Dec. 29. — Savannah captured. Gen. 
Howe, the American officer, defended the 
city with about 1,000 men, while he was 
attacked by Col. Campbell of the British 
forces with 2,000 veterans. Through the 
treachery of a negro, Campbell was in- 
formed of a private path to the right of 
the Americans, through which his troops 
marched and gained the rear of Howe's 
army. Howe finding himself attacked 
in front and rear ordered a retreat, pur- 
sued by the enemy. The Americans lost 
IttO killed, 38 otticers and 415 privates made 
prisoners. The whole loss of the British 
was 7 killed and 19 wounded.

IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY, 



1779. 

Jan. 9.— Fort Sunbury, about 28 miles 
soutliwiird from .Savannah, captured by 
the British. 

Feb. 14.— While a band of Tories, 
under Col. Boj^d, were on their march to 
join the Royal troops, and desolating the 
Carolina frontier, they were attacked by 
Colonel Pickens, at the head of a body of 
militia. Boyd and 70 of his men were 
killed, and 75 made prisoners. Pickens 
lost 38. 

9Iarch 3.— General Ashe, in command 
of near 2,000 Americans at Brier creek, 
about 40 miles below Augusta, Ga., was 
surprised by Gen. Prevost and lost almost 
his entire army by death, captivity, and 
disappearance. About 150 killed and 
drowned, 80 made prisoners, and a large 
number who were dispersed, did not talve 
uji arms again for several months. 

JVIarck 11.— General Prevost, com- 
manding the British forces, demands the 
surrender of Charleston, but, receiving a 
prompt refusal, he spent the remainder 
of the day in preparing for an assault. 
That night was a fearful one for the citi- 
zens, for they expected to be greeted at 
dawn with bursting bomb-shells and red- 
hot cannon balls. But Prevost had been 
Informed of the approach of Lincoln, and 
at midnight retreated to Savannah. 

jflareh 3«.— Governor Tryon went 
with 1,500 British regulars and Hessians 
to destroy some salt works at Horseneck, 
N. Y., and attack an American detach- 
ment under General Putnam at Green- 
wich. The Americans were dispersed, 
but Putnam rallied his troops at Stamford, 
pursued the British on their return to 
New York the same evening, capturing a 
lot of plunder and 38 prisoners. 

May 9.— Sir George Collier entered 
Hampton Roads with a small fleet, 
bearing Gen. Mathews with land troops, 
and from tiieiice they carried destruc- 
tion and desolation on both sides of Eliza- 
beth river, from the Roads to Norfolk and 
Portsmouth. 

June 20.— The British were attacked 
at Stone Ferry, 10 miles southwest from 
Charleston, by a part of Lincoln's army, 
but after a severe engagement, and the 
loss of almost 300 men in killed and 
wounded, they repulsed the Amei-icans, 
whose loss was greater. 

July 4. — Collier's vessels conveyed 
Gov. Tiyon and 2,500 troops to the shores 
of Connecticut, where they plundered 
New Haven and laid East Haven, Fair- 
field, and Norwalk in asiies, and crilelly 
burned the defenceless inhabitants. This 
destruction was completed from the 4th 
to the J2th of .July. 

July 15. — Stony Point, 40 miles nf>rth 
of New York on the Hudson, captured 
by General Wayne. Wayne attacked tlie 
fort in the rear with ball and bayonet at 
two separate points, in the face of a heavy 
cannonade from the garrison. Wayne, 
though wounded in tlie head, wrote to 
Washington, "Tlie fort and garrison, 
with Col. Johnson, are ours." The Bri- 
tish loss in killed, wounded, and pri-

and after live hours hard lighting there 
was a truce for the purpose of burying 
the dead. Nearly 1,000 of the French and 
Americans had been killed and wounded. 
A renewal of the assault was proposed 
by General Lincoln, but he was compelled 
to give up the idea when he felt sure of 
victory, on account of the opposition of 
the French commander. 

Oct. 35. — Britisli troops evacuate

Murder of Mrs. Caldwell. While theBri- 
tish were plundering through the State of 
New Jer-ey, in the vicinity of Elizabeth- 
town, they came upon the residence of 
Kev. Mr. Caldwell. Mrs. Caldwell was 
sitting on the bed with her little child by 
the hand, and her nurse, with her infaiit 
babe by her side, when she was instantly 
shot dead by an unfeeling British soldier,

part of the house, with an evident design 
to perpetrate the deed. Her murderer 
was never punished.

May 12.— Surrender of Charleston. 
After three days of heavy cannonade from 
two hundred guns, and all night long the 
bursting of destructive bombshells, and 
at one time afire in five dill'erent places, 
the city of Charleston was surrendered to 
the British, under Gen. Clinton. Gen. 
Lincoln and his troops, with a large num- 
ber of citizens, were made prisoners of 
war. Altogether the captives amounted 
to between 5,000 and 6,000, and four hun- 
dred pieces of cannon. 

[Among the American detachments 
which hastened towards Charleston to as- 
sist Lincoln, and retreated when they 
heard of his fall, was that of Col. Buford, 
commanding 400 infantry and a small 
troop of cavalry, with two held pieces. 
He retreated, and when near the Wax- 
how Creek, some 60 miles further north, 
he was overtaken and surprised hy Tarle- 
ton. They gave no quarters, but massa- 
cred or maimed the larger portion of 
IJuford's command. His loss in killed, 
wounded, and prisoners was 313. He also 
lost his artilleiy, ammunition, and bag-

up town, in Elizabethtown. She was 
carrying a small bundle tied up in her 
handkerchief, when a British sentinel 
said the bundle must be seized for the 
State. Mr. Caldwell immediately left the 
lady, saying he would deliver tlie bundle 
to the commanding officer, who was then 
present ; and, as he stepped forward to do 
so, another soldier told iiim to stop, whicli 
he immediately did. The soldier without 
further provocation shot him dead on tlie 
sjjot. The villain who murdered him was 
seized and executed. 

Jan. 1. — Mutiny of Pennsylvania Line. 
The pay of officers and men of the Conti- 
nental army had been so long in arrears, 
and money asked for in vain, that finally 
1,300 troops of the Pennsylvania Line left 
the camp at Morristown, with the avowed 
determination of marching to Philadel- 
phia, and in person, demand justice of 
tlie National Legislature. When the mu- 
tineers reached Princeton they were met 
by British emissaries from New York, 
who came to seduce them by bribes to 
enter the King's service. Indignant at 
the implied suspicion of their patriotism, 
the insurgents seized the spies and de- 
livered tliem to Gen. Wayne for pimisli- 
ment. When Gen. Wayne, who was sent 
by Washington to bring the insurgents 
back, first placed himself before the 
insurgents with loaded pistols, they put 
their bayonets to his breast, and said : 
" We love and respect you, but if you fire 
you are a dead man. We are not going 
to the enemy; on the contraiy, if they 
were now to come out, you should see us 
fight under your orders with as much 
alacrity as ever." They were met also by 
a deputation from Congress, who relieved 
their wants, and gave them such satisfac- 
tory guarantees for the future, that they 
returned to their duty. 

Jan. — The Bank of North America, 
the first ever established in the United 
States, about this time came into existence 
in Philadelphia. It was under the charge 
of Robert Morris, to whose superinten- 
dence Congress had intrusted the public 
Treasury. 

Jan. 5. — Benedict Arnold, traitor, now 
in the employ of the British, penetrates 
up the James river, and destroys a large 
quantity of public and private stores at 
Richmond. [Great efforts were made to 
seize Arnold. Sergeant Champs, one of 
Major Lee's dragoons, went in disguise to 
New York, enlisted in a corpsover which 
Arnold had command, and had almost 
consummated a plan for abducting him 
to the Jersey shore, when the traitor was 
ordered to the Southern expedition. In- 
stead of carrying Arnold ofi", Cliamps, 
himself, w^s taken to Virginia with the 
corps in which he had enlisted. There 
he escaped and joined Lee in the Caro- 
linas.] 

Jan. 17. — Defeat of the British at Cow- 
pens, S. C, by Gen. Morgan. The enemy 
lost near 300 men in killed and wounded, 
500 were made prisoners, and a large 
quantity of arms, ammunition, and stores 
were captured.

The Americans were repulsed, and the

over 600, including Lieut.-Col. Webster,

ed in the British being driven from their 
camp by Gen. Greene. But while the

ing and plundering, the British unexpect- 
edly renewed the battle, and, after a

British works at Yorktown. and hurled 
red-hot balls among the English shipping, 
and burned several vessels. Cornwallis, 
despairing of receiving any aid, and per- 
ceiving his fortifications crumbling one 
by one under the terrible storm of iron 
from a hundred heavy cannon, attempted 
to escape by crossing to Gloucester, break 
through the French troops stationed 
there, and, by forced marches, reach New 
York. When the van of his troops em- 
barked on York River, a storm arose as 
fearful and sudden as a summer tornado, 
dispersed the boats, compelled many to 
put back, and the attem pt was abandoned. 
Cornwallis surrendered 7,000 British sol- 
diers to Washington, and his shipping 
and seamen into the hands of DeGrasse.

As an evidence of this fact, Captain Ger- 
rish, of the New England militia, cap- 
tured on the frontier of Canada eight 
packages of scalps, properly cured and 
dried, which were to be sent to England 
as a present from the Seneca Indians to

July 12.— Alexander Hamilton killed 
in a duel by Aaron Burr. The difficulty

Hamilton in public, derogatory to his 
character, and he demanded a retraction. 
Hamilton cRnsidered his demand un- 
reasonable, and refused compliance. Burr 
challenged him to fight, and Hamilton 
reluctantly met him on the west side of 
the Hudson, near Hoboken, N. J., where 
they fought with pistols. Hamilton dis- 
charged his weapon in the air, but Burr 
took fatal aim, and his antagonist fell.

persisting in this outrage upon American 
seamen brought on the war of 1812. 

Treason of Jiurr. During the summer 
of this year Aaron Burr organized mili-

1807. 
Feb. — Aaron Burr arrested on the Tom- 
bigbee river, in the State of Alabama, on 
the charge of treason. He was tried at 
Richmond, Va., but the testimony showed 
that his probable design was an invasion 
of Mexican provinces, and then to estab- 
lish an independent government. He 
was acquitted. 

June 22. — The Chesapeake fired upon 
by the British frigate Leopard. The 
British demanded four seamen from the 
commander of the Chesapeake, claiming 
them as deserters from the British ship 
Melampus. Commodore Barron, not sus- 
pecting danger, and unprej^ared for an 
attack, surrendered the Chesapeake after 
losing three men killed and eighteen 
wounded. 

July. — Proclamation issued ordering 
all British armed vessels to leave the 
waters of the United States, and forbid- 
ding any to enter until full satisfaction is 
given for the outrage on the United States 
Irigate Chesapeake, and security against 
future aggressions should L)e made. 

Nov. 11. — British in council issue an 
order prohibiting neutral nations trading 
with France, excepting upon paying a 
tribute to Great Britain; and France re- 
taliates by issuing a decree December 17, 
forbidding all trade with England or her 
colonies, and authorizing the conhscation 
of any vessel found in French ports which 
liad submitted to English search, or paid 
the exacted tribute. These retaliating 
war measures between England and 
France almost destroyed American ship- 
ping trade abroad. 

I>ec. 22. — ('ongress decreed an em- 
bargo, which detained all vessels, Ameri- 
can and foreign, in our ports, and ordered 
American vessels home immediately, that

by Congress. 

1809. 

march 1. — Congress repeals the em- 
bargo on shipping, and at the same time

intercourse with England and France 
until their obnoxious restrictions on com- 
merce shall be removed.

ted President of the United States, and 
George Clinton as Vice-President.

1810, 

Third census of the United States. 
Population, 7,239,814. 

March 23.— France issued a decree 
which declared every American vessel 
which had entered French ports since 
March, 1810, or tiiat might thereafter 
enter, as forfeited, and authorized the 
sale of the san)e, together with the car- 
goes, the money to be placed in the 
French treasury. Bonaparte justified this 
decree by the plea that it was made in re- 
taliation for tlie American decree of non- 
intercourse. 

May. — Congress offers to resume com- 
mercial relations with either France or 
England, or both, on condition that they 
repeal their obnoxious orders and decrees 
before March 8, 1811. France feigned com- 
pliance, and the United States resumed 
commercial intercourse with that nation. 
But American vessels continued to be 
siezed b^- French cruisers, and on March, 
1811, Napoleon declared the obnoxious 
laws to still exist, and America thereafter 
ceased intercourse with that nation. 

1811. 

April 16. — Engagement between the 
American frigate President, Commodore 
Rogers commanding, and the British 
sloop-of-war Little Belt, Captain Bing- 
ham. The Little Belt was preying upon 
American merchantmen when hailed by 
Rogers of the President, and received a 
cannon shot in reply. A brief action en- 
sued, when Captain Bingham, after losing 
eleven men killed and twenty-one wound- 
ed, gave a satisfactory answer to Rogers. 
At this time the American navy num- 
bered only twelve large vessels of war, 
the 15ritish near nine hundred. 

May 19. — A fire broke out near the 
corner of Chatham and Duane street. 
New York, and destroj^ed nearly one 
hundred buildings on both sides of Chat- 
ham street. 

Nov. 11.— Battle of Tippecanoe. At 
four o'clock in the morning the Indians 
attacked the American camp, commanded 
l)y (ieneral Harrison, but after a bloody 
battle, lasting until dawn, the Indians 
were repulsed. The battle of Tippecanoe 
was one of the most desperate ever 
fought with the Indians, and the loss was 
heavy on both sides. 

The British government declare the at- 
tack on the Chesajjcake to have been un- 
authorized, and promised pecuniary aid 
o the families of those who were killed. 

Dee. 27.— Burning of the Theatre at 
Richmond, Va. There were about (500 
persons in the audience when the fire 
was first discovered. There was but one 
door for egress, and men, women, and 
children were pressing upon each other 
to get out, while the fiames were surging 
upon those behind. It is supposed there 
were 61 persons burned to death . 

During this year British orders for 
searching American vessels and impress- 
ing American seamen were rigorously 
enforced ; insult after insult was oltered

insolently boasted that the United States 
"could not be kicked into a war." A 
continuation of these outrages brought on 
the war of 1812. 

1812. 

Congress passed an act empowering the 
President to enlist25,000 men, accept 50,000 
volunteers, and to call out 100,000 militia. 
Henry Dearborn appointed commander- 
in-chief. 

British Government declared the whole 
American coast in a state of blockade, 
except that of the New England States. 
The apparent sympathy of these States 
with Great Britain caused the enemies of 
our country to think that they would se- 
cede from the Union ; but, as the war 
progressed, it proved that their patriotism 
Avas too strong to admit of such a catas- 
trophe. 

June. — Mob in Baltimore. A news- 
paper, called the Federal Bepublican, was 
destroyed by a mob for uttering senti- 
ments of censure on the conduct of the 
government. Shortly after this affair 
the paper made its appearance again, 
containing severe allusions against the 
niaj^or, police, and people of Balti- 
more for the depredations that had 
been committed upon the establish- 
ment. The office was again mobbed, 
and during the frequent" discharge of 
muskets Dr. Gale was killed ; when the 
party in the office were tinally escorted 
by the military to the county jail for pro- 
tection against further violence. Sliortly 
after dark, the mob assembled at the jaif, 
carried the mayor away by force, and 
compelled the turnkey to open the door. 
General Lingan was killed ; eleven were 
beaten and mangled with such weapons 
as stones, bludgeons, sledge-hammers, 
etc., and thrown as dead into one pile. 
Mr. Hanson, editor of the paper, fainting 
from repeated wounds, was carried away 
b3^ a gentleman of opposite political sen- 
timents, at the risk of liis life. No eff'ec- 
tual inquiry was ever made into this vio- 
lation of the law, and the guilty escaped 
puTiishment. 
Firsthouse in Rochester, N. Y., built. 
April 8. — Louisiana admitted as a 
State. 

April 12.— Death of George Clinton, 
Vice President of the United States. 

June 4. — A bill declaring war to exist 
between the United States and Great 
Britian, passed the House of Representa- 
tives, by a vote of 79 to 49. On tlie 17th 
it passed the Senate by a vote of 19 to 13, 
and on that day it received the signature 
of the President. He issued his war mani- 
festo two days afterward. 

July 12 — Gen. Hallcrosses Detroit river 
to attack Fort Maiden. He encamped at 
Sandwich, and by this fatal dela3% lost 
every advantage which an immediate 
attack might have secured. 

July 17.— Fort Mackinaw, one of the 
strongest posts of the I'nited States, was 
surprised and captured by an allied force 
of British and Indians. 

Aug. 5. — Maj. Van Home, while escort- 
ing a supply party to camp, was defeated

rence, who died from wounds received on

peake, in 1813, were removed from Hali- 
fax and interred in Trinity church yard, 
N. Y. with imposing ceremony. 

Jan. 22. — Americans defeated at 
Frenchtown, about 25 miles south of 
Detroit. A combined force, under Proc- 
tor, of 1,500 British and Indians, fell upon 
the American camp, commanded by Gen. 
Winchester, at dawn. After a severe 
battle and heavy loss on botii sides, Win- 
chester, who was made prisoner by the 
the Indians, surrendered his troops on 
condition that ample protection should 
be given. Proctor, fearing the approach 
of Harrison, immediately marched for 
Maiden, leaving the sick and wounded 
Americans behind, who were afterwards 
murdered and scalped by the Indians. 

Feb. 23.— Ogdeusburg, N. Y., taken 
by the British. 

Feb. 24. — United States sloop-of-war. 
Hornet, Capt. Lawrence, engages the Bri- 
tish brig. Peacock, off the mouth Demara 
river, South America. The Peacock sur- 
rendered after a conflict of flfteen min- 
utes, and a few moments afterward she 
sunk, carrying down with her nine Bri- 
tish seamen and three Americans. The 
loss of the Peacock in killed and wounded 
was .37 ; of the Hornet only 5. 

April 25.— Mobile taken bj^ a body of 
the American army. 

April 27.— Americans capture York 
(now Toronto). The Americans landed 
about two miles west of the British 
works, and in the face of a galling tire 
from regulars and Indians, under Gen. 
Sheatte, drove them back to their fortica- 
tions. The British retreated from the 
fort, but laid a train of wet powder to 
the magazine, and set fire to it, and while 
General Pike was pressing forward, the 
fort blew up, causing great destruction 
of life among the Americans. General 
Pike was mortally wounded, but he lived 
long enough to know that the American 
flag floated in triumph over the fort at 
Toronto. General Sheafte escaped with 
the principal part of the troops, but lost 
all his baggage, books, papers, and a large 
amount of public property. 

]?Iay 2.— British repulsed at Fort San- 
dusky, Ohio. The garrison of the fort 
consiste<l of 150 young men, commanded 
by Major Croghan, was assaulted by 
500 regulars and 800 Indians, under Gen. 
Proctor. The British recoiled, panic- 
stricken, and fled in confusion leaving 150 
of their killed and wounded. American 
loss one man killed and 7 wounded.

with reinforcements for the fort and dis- 
persed the enemy, but imprudently pur- 
sued the fuEcitives, was surrounded and 
captured. Proctor returned to the siege, 
but his Indian allies under Tecumseh, 
becoming impatient, deserted him, and 
the siege was abandoned. 

^lay 27. — Fort George on the western 
sliore* of Niagara river, near its mouth, 
surrendered to the Americans. 

May 29.— British repulsed at Sack- 
ett's Harbor. Sir George Prevost and a 
1,000 soldiers landed in the face of a severe 
fire from some regulars stationed there. 
Gen. Brown, commander, rallied the 
militia, and their rapid gathering then so 
alarmed Prevost, that he hastily re-em- 
barked, leaving almost the whole of his 
wounded behind. 

June 1.— "Don't give up the ship," 
Capt. Lawrence, now in command of the 
frigate Chesapeake encountered the Brit- 
ish frigate Shannon, about 30 miles from 
Boston. A furious action commenced 
which lasted only fifteen minutes. In 
that short time the Chesapeake lost 48 
killed and 98 wounded ; the Shannon 23 
killed and 56 wounded. Lawrence, with 
liis second officer in command, Ludlow, 
were among the slain at the beginning of 
the action ; and, when Lawrence was car- 
ried below, he issvied those brave and 
ever memorable words: "Don't give up 
the ship." During the contest the two 
vessels became entangled, and the British 
boarded the Chesapeake, and, after a des- 
perate hand-to-hand struggle, hoisted the 
British flag. The remains of Lawrence, 
together with Ludlow's, were carried to 
Halifax and buried with the honors of 
war. 

June 6.— British attack American camp 
at Stony Creek, Canada West, and were

ed and missing, 154.

and children. 

Sept. 5.— British brig Boxer, Capt. 
Blythe, encounters American brig Enter- 
prise, Lieut. Burrows, and after an en- 
gagement of fort3^ minutes, off the coast of 
Maine, the Boxer surrendered. Both com- 
manders were slain, and their bodies were 
buried in one grave at Portland. 

Sept. 10. — Perry's victory on Lake Erie. 
The carnage of thfs engagement was very 
great. The Lawrence, Perry's flag ship, 
was soon disabled and became unmana- 
geable, having all her crew, except four

in a fortified camp, 1,000 warriors strong, 
with their women and children, deter- 
mined to make a desperate defence. 
They fought bravely, and almost (iUO of 
their warriors were killed, as they refused 
to surrender. Only two or three were 
made prisoners, with about 3U0 women 
and children. Among those who bowed 
to submission was Weathersford, their 
greatest leader. He appeared suddenly 
before Jackson, in his tent, and standing 
erect, said : *' I am in your power ; do 
with me what you please. 1 have done 
the white people all the harm I could. I 
have fought them, and fought them 
bravely. My warriors are all gone now, 
and I can do no moie. When there was 
a chance for success I never asked for 
peace. There is none now, and I ask for 
it for the remnant of my nation." 

March 38.— United States frigate Es- 
sex, Captain Porter, was captured in the 
harbor of Valparaiso, by the British fri-

graced."

under Captain VVoolsey. They defended 
the place for two days, when they were 
compelled to yield to superior force. The 
British loss was 235 men in killed and 
wounded ; the Americans lost 69. The 
object of the British in this expedition 
was to destroy or capture a large quantity 
of stores at Oswego Falls, but the deter- 
mined resistance they met with at Oswe- 
go caused them to abandon the project. 

July ». — Generals Scott and Kipley

capture Fort Erie. 

July 5. — Battle of Chippewa. General 
Brown met the British in the open fields 
at Chippewa, and repulsed the enemy

Burlington Heights, where they were re- 
inforced by troops under Lt. Gen. Drum- 
mond, who assumed command.

British force, under Drummond, was 
about one-third greater than Brown's.

and the British 878. The Americans were 
left in possession of the field, but were

mile long, extending from the river far 
into the swamp. He was attacked in this 
position by 12,000 British, undercommand 
of General Packenliam. As the British ap- 
proached, a terrible cannonade was open- 
ed from the American batteries, yet tliey

range, when volley after volley of dead- 
ly storm of lead poured into the ranks of

Sept. 31, 23, 33.— Riots in Provi- 
dence, R. I. Five sailors started out for a 
cruise, and when they arrived at the foot 
of Olney's lane, about 8 o'clock in the 
evening, they met six or seven steamboat 
men, who said thev hid a row with the 
darkies, and asked the sailors to go up 
and aid them. This party, greatly in- 
creased, proceeded up the lane, when 
they were received with stones thrown 
from the houses of the blacks. Stones 
were then thrown by th« crowd 
against the houses. During the' melee 
the darkies fired upon them, killing 
one man and wounding two others. 
As soon as it was discovered the fol- 
lowing day that a white man was 
killed by the blacks, it occasioned great 
excitement, and a mob assembled, when 
the Sheritf arrested seven and committed 
them to jail, but in three or four instan- 
ces the mob made a rescue. On the 23d 
the mob renewed their attack at Snow- 
town, stoning and destroying houses. The 
military were called out to preserve or- 
der, but were met witli detianee from the 
mob. Stones were hurled at them with 
such force by the mob, as to split the 
stocks of several muskets, and, as a mat- 
ter of self-protection they were compelled 
to tire. Four of the rioters were killed 
and the mob dispersed. A coni'mittee of 
the citizens of Providence appointed to 
investigate the matter were unanimous in 
their opinion that the infantry were justi- 
tied in tiring, and that it was strictly in 
defence of their lives.

4,000 pounds. 

April 18.— Battle of Cerro Gordo. 
This place was defended by Santa Anna, 
and 12,000 Mexicans, in a strongly forti- 
fied position, and many pieces of cannon. 
Gen. Scott, with 8,000 Americans, as- 
saulted the enemy, and drove the Mexi- 
cans from their position. Santa Anna 
himself narrowly escaped capture by 
fleeing upon a mule taken from his car- 
riage. More than 1,000 Mexicans were 
killed or wounded, and 3,000 made pri* 
soners. Americans lost in killed and 
wounded 431. 

April 21.— Battle of Churubusco. Gen. 
Scott advanced on Churubusco, where 
Santa Anna was in command of the main 
body of the Mexican army. The enemy 
were defeated, and Santa Anna aban- 
doned the held and fled to the city of 
Mexico. This defeat to the Mexicans 
was the flnal destruction of an army 
30,000 strong, by another about one-third 
its strength in number. Full 4,000 of the 
Mexicans were killed or wounded, 3,000 
made prisoners, and 30 pieces of cannon 
taken. Americans lost in killed and 
wounded about 1,100.

large quantity of munitions of war. 

Wlay 15. — Americans take possession 
of the city of Puebla, a city of 80,000 in-

Auguiit 21.— General Scott was now 
within three miles the city of Mexico, 
when Santa Anna sent a flag of truce, 
asking for an armistice, preparatory to 
negotiations for peace. It was granted, 
but the propositions of the United States 
were spurned and scorned, and Santa 
Anna treacherously violated the armistice 
by strengthening the defences of the 
city. 

August 21.— Battle of Contreras. 
General Smith attacked the Mexicans at 
sunrise, and, after a brief and sanguinary, 
conflict, the Americans were victorious. 
Eighty orticers and 3,000 private soldiers 
were made prisoners, and thirty-three 
pieces of artillery were captured. The 
Mexican force engaged was 6,000, under 
General Valencia. 

Sept. 8 — Battle of El Molinos del 
Rey. About 4,000 Americans attacked 
14,000 Mexicans, under Santa Anna, near 
Chapultepec. The Americans were at 
first repulsed with great slaughter, but 
returning to the attack they fought des- 
perately for an hour, and drove the Mexi- 
cans from their position. Both armies 
sulfered dreadfully. The Mexicans lost 
about 1,000 dead on the field, and the 
Americans about 800.

distressing duty to announce to you that 
last night his Excellency Abraham Lin- 
coln was assassinated, about the hour of 
half-past ten o'clock, in his private box at 
Ford's theatre, in this city. The Presi- 
dent, about eight o'clock, acompanied 
Mrs. Lincoln to the theatre. Another 
lady and gentleman were with them in 
the box. About half-past ten, during a 
pause in the performance, the assassin 
entered the box, the door of which was 
unguarded, hastily approached the Presi- 
dent from behind, and discharged a 
pistol at his head. The bullet entered 
the back of his head and penetrated 
nearly through. The assassin then leaped 
from the box upon the stage, brand- 
dishing a large knife or dagger, and ex- 
claimed, 'Sic semper tyrannis!' and es- 
caped in the rear of the theatre. Imme- 
diately upon the discharge the President 
fell to the floor insensible, and continued 
in that state until twenty minutes past 
7 o'clock this morning, when he breathed 
his last."

OF 

STATES, CITIES, NOTED 
PERSONS, &c. 

Albany Repeney.—A. name popularly 
given in the United States to a junto of 
astute Democratic politicians, having their 
headquarters at Albany, N. Y., who con- 
trolled the action of the Democratic party 
for many years, and who had great

great struggle. 

Badger State.— K name given to

Bay State.— A. popular name of Massa-

Bear State.— X name by which the 
State of Arkansas is sometimes designated 
on account of the number of bears that

Battle of the Kegs.— The subject and 
title of a mock heroic poem, by Francis 
Hopkinson. This ballad, very famous in 
Revolutionary times, was occasioned by 
the following"^incident. Certain machines 
in the form of kegs, charged with gun- 
powder, were sent down the river to 
annoy the British shipping then at Phila- 
delphia. The danger «f these machines 
being discovered, the British manned the 
wharves and shipping, and discharged 
their small arms and cannons at every- 
thing they saw floating on the river dur- 
ing the ebb tide. 

Blue Hen, TAe.— A cant or popular name 
for the State of Delaware. This sobriquet 
is said to have had its origin in a certain 
Captain Caldwell's fondness for the amuse- 
ment of cock-fighting. Caldwell was an 
oflacer in the 1st Delaware regiment in 
the war of the Revolution, and was 
greatly distinguished for his daring and 
braverv. He was exceedingly popular in 
the regiment, and its high state of disci- 
pline was generally conceded to be due 
to his exertions; so that when ofticers 
were sent on recruiting service to fill 
vacancies occasioned by death or other- 
wise, it was a sajMng that they had gone 
home for more of Caldwell's game-cocks; 
but as Caldwell insisted that no cock 
could be truly game unless the mother 
was a Blue Hen, the expression Blue 
Hen's chickens was substituted for game- 
cocks. 

Bluff City.— A descriptive name appli- 
ed to the city of Hannibal, Mo. 

Boston Massacre. — A name popularly 
given to a disturbance which occurred in

rounding them, and pelting them with

Crispus Attucks. 

Boston Tea Party. — A name given to 
the famous assemblage of citizens in 
Boston, December 1(5, 1773, who met to 
carry out the non-importation resolves of 
the colony, and who, disguised as In- 
dians, went on board three ships, which 
just arrived in the harbor, and destroyed 
several hundred chests of tea. The 
British Parliament retaliated by closing 
the port of Boston. 

Brother Jonathan. — A sportive collec- 
tive name for the people of the United 
States, originating as follows : — When 
General Washington, after being appoint- 
ed commander of the army, went to 
Massachusetts to organize it and make 
preparations for the defence of the coun- 
try, he found a great want of ammunition 
and other means necessary to meet tlie 
powerful foe he had to contend with, and 
great difficulty in obtaining them. If 
attacked in such conditions the cause at 
once might be hopeless. On one occasion, 
at that anxious period, a consultation of 
the officers and others was had, when it 
seemed no way could be devised to make 
such preparation as was necessary. His 
excellency Jonathan Trumbull, the 
elder, was then Governor of Connecticut, 
and, as Washington placed the greatest 
reliance on his judgment and aid, he 
remarked, "We must consult Brother 
Jonathan on thesubject." He did so, and 
the Governor was successful in supplying 
many of the wants of the army. The 
origin of the expression being soon lost 
sight of, the name Brother Jonathan 
came to be regarded as the national 
sobriquet.

tersected obliquely by fifteen avenues 
from 130 to 160 feet wide.

Hoosier State.— ^he State of Indiana, 
the inhabitants of which are often called 
Hoosiers. This word is a corruption of 
husher, formerly a common term for a 
bully throughout the West. 

Hub of the Universe. — A burlesque and 
popular designation of Boston, Mass., 
originating with the American humorist, 
O. W. Holmes. 

Iron (Jity. — A name popularly given in 
the United States to Pittsburgh, Pa., a 
city distinguished for its numerous and 
immense iron manufactures. 

Ketch, Jack. — A hangman or execu- 
tioner ; so called in England, from one 
John Ketch, a wretch who lived in the 
time of James II., and made himself uni- 
versally odious by the butchery of many 
brave and noble victims, particularly 
those sentenced to death by the infamous 
Jettreys during the "Bloody Assizes." 
Tlie name is thought by some to be de- 
rived from Richard Jacquett, who held 
the manor of Tyburn, near London, where 
criminals were formerly executed. 

Keystone State. — The State of Pennsyl- 
vania ; so called from its having been the 
central State of the Union at the time of 
the formation of the Constitution. If the 
names of the thirteen original States are 
arranged in the form of an arch, Pennsyl- 
vania will occupy the place of the key- 
stone. 

King Cotton. — A popular personification 
of the great staple production of the 
Soutliern States of America. The su- 
premacy of cotton seems to have been 
first asserted by the Hon. James H. Ham-

livered by him in the Senate of the 
United States, on the 4th of March, 1858. 

Kitchen Cabinet. — A name sportively 
given, in the United States, to the Hon. 
J^'rancis P. Blair and the Hon. Amos Ken- 
dall, by the opponents of President Jack- 
son's administration. Blair was the edi- 
tor of The Globe, the organ of the Presi- 
dent, and Kendall was one of the princi- 
pal contributors to the paper. As it was 
necessary for Jackson to consult fre- 
quently with those gentlemen, and as, to 
avoid observation, they were accustomed, 
when they called upon him, to go in by a 
back door, the Whig party styled them, 
in derision, the "Kitchen Cabinet," alleg- 
ing that it was by their advice that the 
President removed so many Whigs from 
office and put Democrats in their place. 

Lake State. — A name popularly given 
to the State of Michigan, which borders 
upon the four lakes— Superior, Michigan, 
Huron, and Erie. 

Land of Steady Habits. — A name by 
which the State of Connecticut is some- 
times designated, in allusion to the moral 
character of its inhabitants.

times applied to Elihu Burritt (born

IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY. 



Little Giant. — A popular sobriquet con- 
ferred upon the Hon. Stephen A. Doug- 
lass, a distinguishfcd American statesman 
(born 1813, died 1861), in allusion to the 
disparity between his physical and in- 
tellectual proportions. 

Little Magician.—A sobriquet conferred 
upon the Hon. Martin Van Buren, Presi- 
dent of tlie United States from 1837 to 
1841, in allusion to his supposed political 
sagacity and talent. 

Lone Star State. — The State of Texas, 
so-called from the device on its coat of 
arms. 

Lumber State. — The State of Maine, the 
inhabitants of which are largely engaged 
in the business of cutting and rafting

shingles, scantling, and the like. 

Mad Anthony. — A sobi-iquet of Maj. 
Gen. Anthony Wayne, di'stinguished for 
his military skill and impetuous bravery 
in the war of the Revolution. 

Masooi and Dixon's Line. — A name 
given to the southern boundary of the 
free State of Pennsylvania, which former- 
ly separated it from the slave States of 
Maryland and Virginia. It lies in latitude 
49° 43' 26.3", and was run, with the ex- 
ception of about twenty-two miles, by 
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two 
English mathematicians and surveyors, 
between Nov. 15, 1763, and Dec. 26, 1767. 
During the exciting debates in Congress 
in 1820, on the question of excluding 
slavery from the State of Missouri, the 
eccentric John Randolph, of Roanoke, 
made great use of the phrase, which was 
caught up and re-echoed by every news- 
paper in the land, and thus gained a 
celebrity which it still retains. 

Mill-boy of the Slashes. — A sobriquet 
conferred upon Henry Clay (1777-1852) a 
distinguished American orator and states- 
man, who was born in the neighborhood 
of a place in Hanover county, Virginia, 
known as the slashes (a local term for a 
low, swampy country) where there was a 
mill, to which he was often sent on errands 
when a boy. 

Monumental City. — The city of Balti- 
more, so called from the monnments it 
contains. 

Mormon.— The last of a pretended line 
of Hebrew prophets, existing among a race 
of Israelites, principallj^ the descendants 
of Joseph, who are fabled to have emigra- 
ted from Jerusalem to America about six 
hundred years before Christ. This imagi- 
nary prophet is said to have written the 
book called "The Book of Mormon," 
which contains doctrines upon which the 
"Mormons," or "Latter Day Saints" 
found their faith ; but the real author was 
one Solomon Spalding, (born 1761 and 
died 1816) an inveterate scribbler,who had 
in early life been a clergj^man. The work 
fell into the hands of Joseph Smith, who 
claimed it as a direct revelation to himself 
from heaven, and, taking it as his text 
and authority, began to preach the new 
gospel of "Mormonism."

at Philadelphia, in 1797, and was after- 
ward rebuilt on the original model. She

eous profusion of the Southern States. 
Sambo and Cutfy expand under them all.

tude in the use of what he calls "soft

America to the State of Illinois, the in- 
habitants of which are very generally 
called Suckers throughout the west. 
The origin of this term is said to be as 
follows : The western prairies are in 
many places full of the holes made by 
the crawfish (a fresh-water shell-fish, 
similar in form to the lobster), which 
descend to the water beneath. In early 
times, when travelers wended their way 
over these immense plains, they very 
prudently provided themselves with a 
long hollow reed, and when thirsty 
thrust it into these natural artesians, and 
thus easily supplied their longings. The

Tammany, »S'<.— The name of an Indian 
Chief who, in the United States, has been 
popularly canonized as a saint, and 
adopted as the tutelai-y genius of one 
branch of the Democratic party. Tam- 
many was of the Delaware nation, and 
lived probably in the middle of the sev- 
enteenth century. He resided in the 
countrj^ which is now Delaware until he 
was of age, when he moved beyond the 
Alleghanies, and settled on the"^banksof 
the Ohio. He became chief sachem of 
his tribe, and being always a friend of

from deeds of violence. His rule was 
always discreet, and he endeavored to 
induce his followers to cultivate agricul- 
ture and the arts of peace, rather than 
those of war. When he became old he 
called a council to have a sucsessor ap- 
pointed, after which the residue of his 
life was spent in retirement, and tradi- 
tion relates that "young and old repaired 
to his wigwam to hear him discourse 
wisdom." His great motto was, "Unite 
in peace for happiness, in war for de- 
fence." When and by whom he was first 
styled saint, or by ^vhat whim he was 
chosen to be the patron of Democracy,

IMPORTANT EVENTS OP THE CENTURY. 



chased bv the contractors of the army. 
The casks were marked E. A.— U. S. This 
work fell to the lot of a facetious fellow in 
the employ of the Messrs. Wilson, who, on 
being asked by some of his fellow-work- 
men the meaning of the mark (for the 
letters U. S., for United States were then 
almost entirely new to them) said he did 
not know, unless it meant Elbert Ander- 
son and "Uncle Sam," alluding exclusi- 
vely to the said "Uncle Sam " Wilson. 
The joke took among the workmen, and 
passed currently; and "Uncle Sam" 
himself being present, was occasionally 
rallied bv them on the increasing extent 
of his po'^ssessions. Many of these work- 
men, being of a character denominated 
"fond of powder," were found, shortly 
after, following the recruiting drum, and 
pushing toward the frontier lines, for the 
double purpose of meeting the enemy 
and of eating the provisions they had 
latelv labored to put in good order. Their 
old jokes accompanied them, and before 
the first campaign ended, this identical 
one first appeared in print ; it gained favor 
rapidly, till it penetrated, and was recog- 
nized,' in every part of the country, and 
will, no doubt, continue so while the 
United States remain a nation. 

Underground Railroad, The.— A. popu- 
lar embodiment of the various ways in 
which fugitive slaves from the Southern 
States were assisted in escaping to the 
North, or to Canada; often humorously 
abbreviated U. G. R. R. 

Wagoner Boy, The.— A. sobriquet of the 
Hon. Thomas (Jorwin (born 1794), a dis- 
tinguished American statesman. While 
yet a lad, Harrison and his army were on 
the northern frontier, almost destitute of 
provisions, and a demand was made on 
the patriotism of the people to furnish the 
necessary subsistence. The elder Corwin 
loaded a wagon with supplies, which was 
delivered by his son, who remained with 
the ani.y during the rest of the campaign, 
and who is said to have proved himselt 
" a good whip and an excellent reinsman." 

TT>.s^'rn Reserve, The.— A name popu- 
larly given to a regionof country reserved 
by the State of Connecticut, at the time 
of the cession of the Northwest Territory 
to the United States. Dispute arose, after 
the war of the Revolution, between se- 
veral of the States respecting the right of 
soil in their territory, which were only 
allayed by the cession of the whole to the 
United States, Connecticut reserving a 
tract of 3,6(56,921 acres near Lake Erie. In 
1800, jurisdiction over this tract was relin- 
quished to the Federal Government, the 
State reserving the right to the soil to 
settlers, while the Indian titles to the 
rest of the soil were bought up by the 
general government. In 1799 the North- 
western Territory, over which Congress 
had exercised jurisdiction since 1787, was 
admitted to a second grade of territorial 
government. Shortly after, Ohio vras de- 
tached from it, and erected into an inde- 
pendent territory, and in 1803 it was re- 
ceived as a State into the Union.

SKETCHES 

OF THE 

PRESIDENTS. 



GEORGE WASHINGTON. 

(FIRST PRESIDENT.— TWO TERMS.) 

Georojb Washington was born on the 
Potomac river, in Westmoreland county, 
Virginia, February 22d, 1732, and died 
December 14, 1799. He was inaugurated 
first President of the United States, April 
30, 1789; and, being re-elected, he held 
the office until 1797. In 1788 and in 1792 
he was again chosen President of the 
United States, but, conceiving it to be a 
dangerous precedent to serve more than 
two terms, he patriotically declined a 
third election. In early life he followed 
the occupation of an engineer. He was 
married to Mrs. Martha Custis, in Janua- 
ry, 1759. Congress unanimously elected 
him commander of the revolutionary 
forces, and he took active command July 
2, 1775, and held supreme military con- 
trol throughout the struggle for inde- 
pendence. 

Washington was left fatherless at eleven 
years of age; his education was directed 
by his mother, a woman of strong charac- 
ter, wiio kindly, but firmly, exacted the 
most implicit obedience. Of her Wash- 
ington learned his first lessons of self- 
command. His favorite amusements 
were of a military character; he made 
soldiers of his playmates, and officered 
all the mock parades. His inherited 
wealth was great, and the antiquitv of 
his family gave him high social rank. 
On his Potomac farms he had hundreds 
of slaves, and at his Mount Vernon home 
he was like the prince of a wide domain, 
free from dependence or restraint. He 
was fond of equipage and the appurte- 
nances of high life. Although he always 
rode on horseback, his family had a 
" chariot and four," with " black pos- 
tilions in scarlet and white liver}'." This 
generous style of living, added perhaps to 
his native reserve, exposed him to the 
charge of aristocratic feeling. While at 
his home, he spent much of his time in 
riding and hunting. He rose early, ate 
his breakfast of corn-cake, honey, and 
tea, and then rode about his estates. He 
spent his evenings with his family 
around the blazing hearth, retiring be- 
tween nine and ten. He loved to linger 
at the table, cracking nuts and relating 
his adventures. In personal appearance, 
Washington was over six feet in height, 
robust, graceful, and perfectly erect. 
His manner was formal and dignified. 
He was more solid than brilliant, and 
had more judgment than genius. He 
had great dread of public life, cared little 
for books, and had no library. Washing- 
ton was a consistent Christian, and a 
regular attendant ot the Episcopal 
church, of which he was a communicant. 
He was a firm advocate of free institu- 
tions, but believed in a strong govern-

cisions, but, his policy once settled, he 
pursued it with steadiness and dignity, 
however great might be the opposition. 
As an officer, he was brave, enterprising, 
and cautious. His campaigns were rareiy 
startling, but they were always judicious. 
He was capable of great endurance. 
Calm in defeat, sober in victory, com- 
manding at all times, but irresistible 
when aroused, he exercised equal author- 
ity over himself aud his army. His last 
illness was very brief, and his closing 
hours were marked by his usual calm- 
ness and dignity. " I die hard," he said, 
" but I am not afraid to go." Europe and 
America vied in tributes to his memory. 
Said Lord Brougham, '* Until time shall 
be no more, a test of the progress which 
our race has made in wisdom and virtue 
will be derived from the veneration paid 
to the immortal name of Washington." 
Washington left no children. it has 
been beautifully said, " Providence left 
him childess that his country might call 
him Father." 



JOHN ADAMS. 

(SECOND PRESIDKNT. ) 

John Adams was born in Braintree, 
Mass., October 19th, 1735, and died 1826. 
He served as President of the United 
States from 1797 to 1801. He was a mem- 
ber of the first and second Congress, and 
nominated Washington as commander- 
in-chief. Jetterson wrote the Declaration 
of Independence, but Adams secured its 
adoption in a three-days debate. He was 
a tireless worker and had the reputation 
of having the clearest head and firmest 
heart of any man in Congress. In his 
position as President he lost the reputa- 
tion he had gained as Congressman. His 
enemies accused him of being a bad 
judge of men, of clinging to old unpopu- 
lar notions, aud of having little control 
over his temper. They also ridiculed his 
egotism, which they declared to be inor- 
dinate. He lived, however, to see the 
prejudice against his administration give 
place to a juster estimate of his great 
worth and exalted integrity. As a dele- 
gate to the Constitutional Convention he 
was honored as one of the fathers of the 
republic. Adams and Jefferson were 
firm friends during the Revolution, but 
political strife alienated them. On their 
return to private life they became recon- 
ciled. They died on the same day— the 
fiftieth anniversary of American inde- 
pendence. Adams's last words were, 
"Thomas Jetterson still survives." Jef- 
ferson was, however, already lying dead 
in his Virginia home. Thus, by the pass- 
ing away of these two remarkable men, 
was made memorable the 4th of July, 1826. 



THOMAS JEFFERSON. 

(THIKD PRESIDENT.) 

Thomas Jefferson was born at Shad- 
well, Virginia, April 2d, 1743; and died 
July 4th, 1826. After graduating from 



'252 



IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CENTURY. 



William and Mary College, he adopted 
the profession of the law. 

" Uf all the public men who have figured 
in the United States," says Partou, "he 
was incomparably the best scholar 
and the most variously accomplished 
man." He was a bold horseman, a skil- 
ful hunter, an elegant penman, a fine 
violinist, a brilliant talker, a superior 
classical scholar, and a proficient in the 
modern languages. On account of his 
talent, he was styled " The Sage of Monti- 
cello." The immortal document, the 
Declaration of Independence, was, with 
the exception of a few words, entirely his 
work. He was an ardent supporter of the 
doctrine of State rights, and led the op- 
position to the Federalists. After he be- 
came President, however, he found the 
difiiculty of administering the govern- 
ment upon that theory. " The executive 
autliority had to be stretched until it 
Clacked, to cover the purchase of Louisi- 
ana ;" and he became convinced on other 
.occasions ihat the federal government, to 
use his own expression, "must show its 
teeth." Like Washington, he was of 
aristocratic birth, but his principles were 
intensely democratic. He hated ceremo- 
nies and titles; even "Mr." was distaste- 
ful to him. These traits were the more 
remarkable to one of his superior birth 
and education, and peculiarly endeared 
him to the common people. Coming into 
power on a wave of popularity, he studi- 
ously sought to retain this favor. There 
were no more brilliant levees or courtly 
ceremonies as in the days of Washington 
and Adams. On his inauguration day he 
rode down to Congress unattended, and, 
leaping from his horse, hitched it, and 
■went into the cliamber dressed in plain 
clothes, to read his fifteen-minutes inau- 
gural. Some of tiie sentences of that 
short Ijut memorable address have passed 
into proverbs. The unostentatious ex- 
ample thus set by the nation's President 
■was wise in its etfects. vSoon the public 
debt was diminished, the army and navy 
reduced, and the Treasury replenished. 
A man of such marked cliaracter neces- 
sarily made bitter enemies, but Jetterson 
commanded the respect of even his oppo- 
nents, while the admiration of his friends 
was unbounded. The last seventeen 
years of his life were passed at Monticello, 
near the place of his birth. By his pro- 
fuse hospitality he had, before his death, 
spent his vast estates. He died poor in 
mone3% but rich in honor. His last words 
were, "This is the fourth day of July." 



JAM£S MADISON. 

(FOUKTH PRESIDKNT.— TWO TERMS.) 

James Madison was born in King 
George county, Virginia, March 16, 1751, 
and died in 1H36. He graduated at 
Princeton College in 1771, after which he 
studied law ; and from 1809 to 1817 he was 
President of the United States. In Con- 
gress in 1789 he became one of the strong- 
est advocates of the Constitution, and did 
much'to secure its adoption. From his

political principles he was obliged, though 
reluctantly, to oppose Washington's ad- 
ministration, which he did in a courteous 
and temperate maimer. He led his party 
in Congress, where he remained till 1797. 
The next year he drafted the famous 
"1798-99 Resolutions," enunciating the 
doctrines of State rights, which, with the 
accompanying "Report" in their defence, 
have been the great text-book of the De- 
mocratic party. He was Secretary of 
State to Jefferson. After his Presidential 
services, be retired from public station. 
Madison's success was not so much the 
result of a great natural ability as of in- 
tense application and severe accuracy. 
His mind was strong, clear, and well ba- 
lanced, and his memory was wonderful. 
Like John Quincy Adams he had laid up 
great store of learning, which he used in 
the most skillful manner. He always 
exhausted the subject upon which he 
spoke. " When he had finished, nothing 
remained to be said." His private cha- 
racter was spotless. His manner was 
simple, modest, and uniformly courteous 
to his opponents. He enjoyed wit and 
and humor, and told a story admirably. 
His sunny temper remained with him to 
the last. Some friends coming to visit 
him during his final illness, he sank smi- 
lingly back on his couch, saying, 'I al- 
ways talk better when I ^ie." It has been 
said of him, " It was his rare good fortune 
to have a whole nation for his friends." 



JAMES MONROE. 

(FIFTH rilJiSIDBNT— TWO TEKMS. ) 

James Monuoe was born in Westmore- 
land County, Virginia, April 28, 1758, and 
died in the city of New York, July 4, 
1831. He filled the office of President of 
the United States from the year 1817 to 
1825. As a soldier under General Wash- 
ington, he bore a brave record, and espe- 
cially distinguished himself in the battles 
of Brandywine, Germantown, and Mon- 
mouth. Afterward he studied law, and 
entered political life. Having been sent 
by Washington as Minister to France, he 
showed such marked sympathy with that 
country as to displease the President and 
his cabinet, who were just concluding a 
treaty with England, and wished to pre- 
serve a strictly neutral policy. He was 
therefore recalled. Under Jetierson, who 
was his warm friend, he was again sent 
to France in 1803, when he secured the 
purchase of Louisiana. He is said to 
have always taken particular pride in this 
transaction, regarding his part in it as 
among the most important of his public 
services. Socm after his inauguration as 
President, he visited the military posts 
in the north and east, with a view to 
thorough acquaintance with the capabili- 
ties of the country in the event of future 
hostilities. This lour was a great success. 
He wore a blue military coat of home- 
spun, light-colored breeches, and a cocked 
hat, being the undress uniform of a Rev- 
olutionary officer. Thus was the nation 
reminded of his former military services. 
This, with his plain, unassuming manners,

completely won the hearts of the people, 
and brought an overwhelming majority 
to the support of the administration. 
Monroe was a man more prudent than 
brilliant, who acted with a single eye to 
the welfare of the country. JefTerson 
said of him : '» If his soul were turned in- 
side out, not a spot could be found on it." 
Like that loved friend, he died " poor in 
monej', but rich in honor;" and like him 
also, he passed away on the anniversaiy 
of the independence of the country he 
had served so faithfully. 



JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. 

[SIXTH PRESIDENT.] 

John Quincy Adams was born at Brain- 
tree, Mass., 3\i\y 11, 1767, and died at 
Washington, February 23, 1848. He was 
President from 1825 to 1829. 

John Q. Adams was a man of learning, 
of blameless rejjutation, and unquestioned 
patriotism, yet as a President he was 
hardly more successful than his father. 
This was, doubtless, owing greaiW to the 
fierce opposition which assailed hmi from 
the friends of disappointed candidates, 
who at once combined to weaken his 
measures and prevent his re-election. 
Their candidate was Andrew Jackson, a 
man whose dashing boldness, energy, 
and decision, attracted the popular 
masses, and hid the more quiet virtues of 
Adams. To add to his perplexities, a 
majority of the House, and nearly one- 
half of the Senate, favored the nevvpart}'^, 
and his own Vice-President, John C. Cal- 
houn, was also the candidate of the oppo- 
sition, and of course committed to it. To 
stem such a tide was a hopeless eftbrt. 
In two years Adams was returned to Con- 
gress, where he remained until his death, 
over sixteen years afterward. Ten years 
of public service were thus rendered after 
he had passed his "three-score years and 
ten," and so great was his ability in de- 
bate at this extreme age, that he was 
called "the old man eloquent." Like his 
father, he was a wonderful worker, an(J 
his mind was a complete store-house or 
facts. He lived economically, and left a 
lai'ge estate. He was the congressional 
advocate of anti-slavery, and a bitter op- 
ponent of secret societies. His fame in- 
creased with his age, and he died a trusted 
and revered champion of popular riglits. 
He was seized with paralysis while occu- 
pying his seat in Congress, after which he 
lingered two days in partial unconscious- 
ness. His last words were—" This is the 
last of earth ; I am content." 



ANDREW JACKSON. 

[SEVENTH I'HESIDEN'T.— TWO TERMS.] 

Andrpjw Jackson was born in Wax- 
haw settlement. North or South Carolina, 
March 15, 17(57, and died at the Hermitage, 
near Nashville, June s, 1845. He s-erved 
as President of the United States from 
1829 to 1837.

Jackson was of Scotch-Irish descent. 
His father died before he was born, and 
his mother was very poor. As a boy, 
Andrew was brave and impetuous, pas- 
sionately fond of athletic sports, but not 
at all addicted to books. His life was 
crowded with excitement and adventure. 
At fourteen, being captured by the Bri- 
tish, he was ordered to clean the conmian- 
der's boots. Showing the true American 
spirit in his refusal, he was sent to prison 
with a wound on head and arm. Here he 
had the smallpox, which kept him ill for 
several months. vSoon after his mother 
had effected his exchange, she died of 
ship-fever while caring for the imprisoned 
Americans at Charleston. Left entirely 
destitute, young Jackson tried various 
employments, but finally settled down to 
the law, and in 1796 was elected to Con- 
gress. His imperious temper and inflexi- 
ble will supplied him with constant 
quarrels. , Often they were passionate 
word-contests, sometimes they became 
hand-to-hand encounters, and on one oc- 
casion a formal duel was fought, in which 
he killed his adversary, himself being 
severely wounded. The scars he bore 
upon his person were of wounds received 
in private battles, some of which left a 
mark for life. Jackson first distinguished 
himself as a military officer in the war 
against the Creek Indians, which he 
made a signal victory. His dashing suc- 
cesses in the war of 1812 completed his re- 
putation, and ultimately won him the 
Presidency. His nomination was at first 
received in many States with ridicule, as, 
whatever might be his military prowess, 
neither his temper nor his ability seemed 
to recommend him as a statesman. How- 
ever, his re-election proved his popular 
success as a President. His chief intel- 
lectual gifts were energy and intuitive 
judgment. He was thoroughly honest, 
intensely warm-hearted, and had an in- 
stinctive horror of debt. His moral 
courage was as great as his physical, and 
his patriotism was undoubted. He died 
at the "Hermitage," his home near Nash- 
ville, Tennessee. Jackson and Adams 
were born the same year, yet how differ- 
ent was their childhood ! One born to 
luxury and travel, a student from his 
earliest years, and brilliantly educated; 
the other poor, hating books, and seeking 
any kind of work to escape from want. 
Yet they were destined twice to compete 
for the highest place in the nation. 
Adams, the first time barely successful, 
was unfortunate in his administration: 
Jackson, triumphing the second, was 
brilliant in his Presidential career. 



MARTIN VAN BCBEN. 

[EIGHTH PHESIDE.NT.] 

Martin Van Buren was born at Kin- 
derhook, New York, Decembers, 1782, and 
died at the same place, July 2-1, 1862. He 
studied law and was admitted to practice 
in 1803; was elected President of the 
United States, and served fouryears, from 
1337 to 18il. He early took an interest in

politics, and in 1818 started a new organi- 
zation of the Democratic party in New 
York, his native State, which had the 
power for over twenty years. In 1831 he 
was appointed ininister to England, 
whither he went in September, but when 
the nomination came liefore the Senate in 
December, it was rejected, on the ground 
that he had sided with England against 
the United States, on certain matters, and 
had carried party contests and their re- 
sults into foreign negotiations. His partv 
regarded this as an extreme political per- 
secution, and the next year elected him 
to the Vice-Presidency. ' He thus became 
head of the Senate which a few months 
before had condemned him, and where he 
now performed his duties with "dignity, 
courtesv, and i in partiality." 

As a President, Van Buren was the sub- 
ject of much partisan censure. The 
"country was passing throuo-h a peculiar 
crisis, and his was a difficult position to fill 
with satisfaction to all. That he pleased 
his own party is proved from the fact of 
his re-nomination in 1840 against Harrison. 
In 1844 he was once more urged bv his 
friends, but failed to get a two-thirds vote 
in the convention on account of his op- 
position to the annexation of Texas. In 
1848 he became the candidate of the " free 
Democracy," a new party advocating 
anti-slavery principles. After this he re- 
tired to his' estate in Kinderhook, N. Y., 
where he died. 



■WrLLIAM H. HARBISON. 

[NINTH PUESIDENT.] 

William H. Harbison was born in 
Charles City county, Virginia, February 
9, 1773. He was elected President of the 
United Statesin 1840, and had scarcely en- 
tered upon the dutiesof hisoffice when he 
died at Washington, April 4, 1841. He 
was a graduate of Hampden-Svdnev 
Collese. 

William Henry Harrison distinguished 
himself during the war of 1812, especially 
in the battle of the Thames. His military 
reputation made him available as a Presi- 
dential candidate. His character was un- 
impeachable, and the chief slur cast upon 
him by his opponents was that he had 
lived in a "log cabin" with nothing to 
drink but "hard cider." His friends 
turned this to good account. The cam- 
paign was noted for immense mass-meet- 
ings, long processions, song-singing, and 
general enthusiasm. " Hard cider " be- 
came a party watch-word, and "log 
cabins" a regular feature in the popu- 
lar parades. He was elected by a very 
large majority, and great hopes were 
entertained of his administration. Though 
advanced in years, he gave promise of en- 
durance. But " he was beset by office- 
seekers ; he was anxious to gratify the 
numerous friends and supporters who 
flocked about him ; he gave himself in- 
cessantly to public business; and at the 
close of the month he was on a sick bed." 
His illness was of eight days duration- 
Hislast words were: "The principles of the

JOHN TYXER. 

[TENTH rKESIDKNT.] 

John Tyler was born in Charles City- 
county, Virginia, March 29, 1790, and 
died at Richmond, Va., January 17, la(j2. 
Mr. Tyler became President upon the 
death of Mr. Harrison as his constitu- 
tional successor, as Vice President of the 
United (States. John Tyler was in early 
life a great admirer ol Henry Clay, and 
is said to have wept with sorrow when 
the whigs in convention rejected his 
favorite candidate for the Presidency, 
and selected Harrison. He was nomi- 
nated Vice-President by a unanimous 
vote, and was a great lavorite with his 
party. In the popular refrain "Tippe- 
canoe and Tyler too," the people sung 
praises to him as heartily as to Harrison 
liin)self. The death of Harrison and the 
succession of Tyler, was the hrst instance 
of the kind in our history. 

Tyler's administration was not suc- 
cessful. He opposed the measures of 
his party, and made free use of the veto 
power. His former political friends de- 
nounced him as a renegade, to which he 
replied that he had never professed to 
endorse the measures which he opposed. 
The feeling increased in bitterness. All 
his cabinet, except Webster, resigned. 
He was, however, nominated by a con- 
vention composed chiefly of office-hol- 
ders, for the next Presidency; he ac- 
cepted, but hnding no popular support 
soon withdrew from the canvass, lu 1861 
he became the presiding officer of the 
peace convention in Washington. All 
efforts at reconciliation proving futile 
he renounced his allegiance to the United 
States and loliowed the Confederate for- 
tunes. He died in Kichmond, where he 
was in attendance as a member of the 
Conlederate Congress. 



JAMES K. POL,K. 

CELIiVKNTH I'KESIDENT.] 

James K. Poi.k was born in Mecklin- 
burg county, JSorth Carolina, November 
2, 179o, and died at Nashville, June 15, 
1849. He graduated from the University 
of North Carolina in 1816, and studied 
law. He was President from 1845 to 
1849. 

Mr. Polk was one of the most con- 
spicuous opposers of the administration of 
J. Q. Adams, and a warm supporter of 
Jackson. In 1839, having served four- 
teen years in Congress, he declined a re- 
election and was chosen Governor of 
Tennessee. His Presidential nomination, 
in connection with that of George M. 
Dallas of Pennsylvania,as Vice-President, 
had the effect of uniting the Democratic 
party, which had been disturbed by dis- 
sensions between the friends and oppo- 
nents of Martin Van Buren, However, 
the Mexican War, which in many States 
was strongly opposed, the enactment of 
a tariff" based on a revenue principle in-

stead of a protective one, and the agita- 
tion caused by the "Wilmot Proviso," all 
conspired to att'ect his popularity before 
the end of his term. He had, however, 
previously pledged himself not to be a 
candidate for re-election. He died about 
three months after his retirement from 
ottice. 



ZACHARY TAYI.OR. 

TTWELFTH PRESIDENT,] 

Zachary Taylor was born in Orange 
county, Virginia, November 24, 1784. He 
entered upon the duties of President 
in lb49, and died at the Presiden- 
tial Mansion, July 9, 1850, after an 
illness of live days. Soon after his birth 
his parents removed to Kentucky. His 
means of education were of ilie scanti- 
est kind, and until he was twen- 
ty-four jears of age he worked on his 
father's plantation. Madison, who was a 
relative, and at that time Secretary of 
State, then secured for him an appoint- 
ment in the army as lieutenant, l^'rom 
this he rose by regular and rapid degrees 
to a major-generalship. His triumphant 
battles at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palnia, 
Monterey, and Buena Vista, won him 
great applause. He was the popular hero 
of a successful war. The soldiers ad- 
miringly called him " Old Rough and 
Ready." Having been ottered the nomi- 
nation for President, he published seve- 
ral letters defining his position as "a 
whig, but not an ultra-whig," and declar- 
ing that he would not be a party candi- 
date or the exponent of party doctrines. 
Many of the whig leaders violently op- 
posed his nomination. Daniel Webster 
called him "an ignorant frontier colonel." 
The fact that he was a slaveholder was 
warmly urged against him. He knew 
nothing of civil affairs, and had taken so 
little interest in politics that he had not 
voted in forty years. But he was nomi- 
nated and elected. His nomination 
caused a secession from the whigs, result- 
ing in the formation of the free-soil party. 
He felt his want of qualifications for the 
position, and sometimes expressed his re- 
gret that he had accepted it. Yet he 
maintained as President the popularity 
which had led to his election, and was 
personally one of the most esteemed who 
have filled that office. 



MILLARD FILLMORE. 

[THIRTEENTH PRESIDENT.] 

Millard Fillmore, being elected 
Vice President to President Taylor, be- 
came his constitutional successor, and 
served the unexpired term from 18o0 to 
1853. He was lx>rn in Cayuga county, 
New York, January 7, 1800, and died 
March 8, 1H74. Mr. Fillmore had not a 
very liberal education, and, when young, 
served as an apprentice to the fuller's 
trade. In the year 1821 he was admitted 
to the bar, and practiced law with suc- 
cess. From 1832 to 1840 he was a member 
of Congress ; in 1842 he was nominated

FRANKLIN PIERCE. 

[FOUUTEENTU PKESIDENT.] 

Franklin Pierce was born at Hills- 
borough, New Hampshire, on the 23d of 
November, 1804, and died in 1869. He 
graduated at Bowdoin College, Maine, in 
1824 ; studied law and was admitted to 
the bar in 1827. He was President from 
1853 to 1857. 

Mr. Pierce had barely attained the 
requisite legal age when he was elected 
to the Senate. He there found such men 
as Clay, W'ebster, Calhoun, Thomas H. 
Benton, and Silas Wright. Nathaniel 
Hawthorn says in his biography of Mr. 
Pierce : " With his usual tact and ex- 
quisite sense of proprietj', he saw it was 
not the time for him to step forward pro- 
minently on this highest theatre in the 
land. He beheld these great combatants 
doing battle betbre the eyesof the nation, 
and engrossing its whole regards. There 
was hardly an avenue to reputation save 
what was occupied by one or another of 
those gigantic tigures." During Tyler's 
administration, he resigned. When the 
Mexican war broke out, he enlisted as a 
volunteer, but soon rose to the office of 
brigadier-general. He distinguished him- 
self under General Scott, against wliom 
he afterwards successfully ran for the 
Presidency, and upon whom, during his 
administration, he conferred the title of 
lieutenant-general. On the question of 
slavery, Mr. Pierce always sided with the 
South, and opposed anti-slavery measures 
in every shape. In a message to Con- 
gress in 1856, he characterized the forma- 
tion of a free State government in Kansas 
as an act of rebellion, and justified the 
principles of the Kansas and Nebraska 
Act. He, however, espoused the national 
cause at the opening of the civil war, and 
urged a cordial support of the administra- 
tion at Washington. 



JAMES BUCHANAN. 

[FIFTEENTH fKESIDE.VT. ] 

James Buchanan was born in Frank- 
lin county, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1791, 
and died at Wheatland, June 1, 1868. He 
was a graduate of Dickinson College and 
was admitted to the bar in 1812. He was 
President from 1857 to 1861, and was 
so constantly in office from 1820 up t.. that 
time that he was know by the sobriquet 
ot " Public Functionarv." 

The " bachelor-President," as Mr. Bu- 
chanan was sometimes called, was sixty. 
SIX years old when he was called to the 
executive chair. He had just returned to 
his native country, after an absence of 
lour years as Minister to England. Pre- 
viously to that he liad been well known 
in public life as Congressman, Senator,

and as Secretary of State under President 
Polk. As Senator in Jackson's time, he 
heartily supported his administration. 
With Van Buren, he warmly advocated 
the idea of an independent treasury 
against the opposition of Clay, Webster, 
and others. Under Tyler, he was ur- 
gently in favor of the annexation of 
Texas, thus again coming in conflict with 
Clay and Webster. However, he cordially 
agreed with them in the compromise of 
1850, and urged its favor upon the people. 
Much was hoped from his election, as he 
avowed the object of his administration 
to be " to destroy any sectional party,

February, 1809, He was elected Presi- 
dent in 1860, and was re-elected in 1864, 
and had entered upon the duties of his 
office for the second time, when he was 
assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, April 
14th, 1865, and" died the following day. 

His father was unable to read or write, 
Abraham's education consisted of one

raft. When nineteen years of age the 
future President hired out as a hand on a 
flat-boat at §10 per month, and made a 
trip to New Orleans. On his return he 
accompanied the family to Illinois, driv-

reaching their destination helped them 
to build a cabin, and to split rails to en-

close the farm. He was now in succes- 
sion a flat-boat hand, clerk, captain of a 
company of volunteers in the Black Hawk 
War, country store-keeper, postmaster, 
and surveyor, yet he managed to get a 
knowledge of law by borrowing books at 
an office, before it closed at nigtit, and re- 
turning them at its opening in the morn- 
ing. On being admitted to the bar, he 
rapidly rose to distinction. At twent}'- 
five he was sent to the Legislature, and 
was thrice re-elected. Turning his atten- 
tion to politics, he soon became a leader. 
He was sent to Congress; he canvassed 
the State, haranguing the people daily 
on great national questions; and, in 1858, 
he was candidate for Senator, a second 
time, against Stephen A. Douglass, The 
two rivals stumped the State together.

dencv, his history, like Washington's, is 
identified with tliat of his country. He 
was a tall, ungainly man, little versed in 
the refinements of society, but gifted by 
nature with great comnion sense, and 
everywhere known as "Honest Abe." 
Kind, earnest, sympathetic, faithful, 
democratic, he was'only anxious^ to serve 
his country. His wan, fatigued face, and 
his bent form, told of the cares he bore, 
and the grief he felt. His only relief 
was, when tossing aside for a moment the 
heavv load of responsil)ility, his faqe 
would light up with a humorsome smile, 
•while he narrated some incident whose 
aptness to the subject at hand, and irre- 
sistible wit, conviilsed his hearers, and 
rendered "Lincoln's stories" household 
words tliroughout the nation. 



ANDREW JOHNSON. 

[SEVENTEENTH PUESIDENT.j 

Andrew Johnson was born near Ra- 
leigh, North Carolina, December 29, 1808. 
He was Vice-President when Abraham 
Liincoln was assassinated, and by liis 
death Mr. .Johnson became the constitu- 
tional President of the United States. He 
died in 1875, while serving as United 
States Senator from Tennessee. 

When only ten years of age, Mr. John- 
son was bound apprentice to a tailor of Ra- 
leigh. Never having been a day at school 
in his life, he yet determined to secure an 
education. From a fellow-workman he 
learned the alphabet, and from a friend 
something of spelling. Thenceforth, after 
working ten or twelve hours per day at 
his trade, he spent two or three every 
night in study. In 1826, he went West to 
seek his fortune, with true filial affection 
carrying with him his mother, who was 
dependent on his labor for support. After 
his marriage at Greenville, Tenn., he con- 
tinued his studies under the instruction 
of his wife, pursuing his trade as before 
by day. His political life commenced 
with his election as alderman. He was 
successively chosen mayor, member of 
the legislature. Presidential elector, State 
senator, twice govornor, and for fifteen 
years U. S. senator. Remaining true to 
the Union when his State seceded, his 
loyalt3'^ attracted general attention. A 
life-time democrat, he was elected on the 
republican ticket as Vice-President, in 
reward for his faithfulness. Cominginto 
office with a repul)lican Congress, it is 
not strange that his way was hedged with 
difficulties, and his Presidential, career a 
most unhappy one. 



ULYSSES S. GRANT. 

[EIGHTEENTH PHESIDENT, TWO TERMS.] 

Ulysses S. Grant was born at Point 
Pleasant. Clermont county, Ohio, April 27, 
1822. He was very unwilling to follow 
his father's trade, which was that of a tan- 
ner, and, at seventeen, an appointment 
was secured for him at West Point. His 
name having been wronglj' registered, 
Grant vainly attempted to set the matter 
right, but finally accepted his "manifest

destiny," assumed the change thus forced 
upon him, and thenceforth signed himself 
" Ulysses Simpson," the latter being his 
mother's family name. Two years after 
completing his four years' course as cadet, 
the Mexican war broke out, in which 
Grant conducted himself with great gal- 
lantry, receiving especial mention and 
promotion. In 1847 he was made hrst 
lieutenant, captain in 1853, and in 1854 re- 
signed his commission, and entered the 
leather and saddlery business at Ualena, 
Illinois, in 1859, where he remained until 
the opening of the war in 18til, when he 
immediately ottered his services in behalf 
of the Union. His modesty and dillidt nee 
delayed their acceptance, and Governor 
Yates, of Illinois, was the tirst to avail 
himself of them. Grant tinally took the 
field as colonel of the Twenty-first Regi- 
ment Illinois Volunteers. In February, 
1862, he was made a major-general, and 
commanded the armies oi the Southwest. 
On the 12th of March, lbt)4, he was made 
lieutenant-general and put in command 
of all the armies, and took personal direc- 
tion of the military operations in Virginia, 
and, on the 9th of April, 1865, General 
Lee surrendered the Confederate armies 
to him, at Appomattox Court House, and 
hostilities were ended. 

He was nominated and elected by the 
Republicans President of the United 
States in 18(38, and re-elected by the same 
party in 1872, and is now the present in- 
cumbent. His term expires in 1877.

IVAFtL OF 1812. 



James Otis was born at Barnstable, 
Mass., 1725. He was the leader of the Re- 
volutionary party in Massachusetts at the 
beginning. He was wounded by a British 
official in 1769, and never entirely re- 
covered. He was killed bv lightning in 
1772. 

ISamael Adams was born in Boston 
in 1772. He was one of the signers of the 
Declaration of Independence ; was after- 
wards Governor of Massachusetts, and 
died in 1803. It is also believed that he 
was one of the leaders of the patriots in 
the Boston massacre, March 5, 177U. 

Charles Thomson was born in Ire- 
land in 1730, and came to America when 
he was only eleven years of age. He set- 
tled in Pennsylvania, and was Secretary 
of Congress perpetually from 1774 until 
the adoption of the Federal Constitution, 
and the organization of the new govern- 
ment in 1789. He died in 1824 at the age 
of 94.

tributed by the photographers of America. 
The building is devoted exclusively to 
the exhibition of American and foreign 
photographic art.

Indepencleuce Hall.— (Page 245.) — 
Independence Hall, erected on Chestnut 
street, between Fifth and Sixth streets,

and finished in 1734. The Continental 
Congress first met in this building on the 
10th of May, 1775, and it was here they 
declared themselves free and independ- 
ent. The first thing that strikes the eye 
on entering is the quaint desk-table on 
which the Declaration was signed ; belli nd 
it is the old-fashioned, stately chair occu- 
pied by John Hancock, President of the 
Continental Congress; ranged around the 
walls are twelve of the original chairs 
used by members. The original draft of 
the Declaration of Independence, in Jef- 
fersoiVs handivriting, as interlined by 
Franklin and Adams, is also here, to- 
gether with oil painting portraits of just 
forty of the forty-six signers. For view 
of interior of building, see page 203.

steps to the front and side porches, and 
an open-roofed balcony is extended from 
each side entrance to the front entrance.

of the side rooms it is spanned by a truss- 
arched roof at a heijjlit of 24 feet above 
the centre of the hail. It is iighted by 
the rotunda above, and an ornamental 
fountain plays in the centre below. On 
the walls are 200 tablets, of which num- 
ber 92 are used by the counties of the 
State for the general statistics of each 
county, and the remainder are given to 
individuals or firms. There are also 
committee rooms, a ladies' parlor, inva- 
lids' room, post office, telegraph office, 
baggage room, gentlemen's parlor, and 
the building is a place where any citizen 
of the State can be at home, to entertain 
friends and dispatch business. The whole 
is surmounted by a handsome truss roof, 
from the top of whose arches a lighted 
open rotunda of glass and wood rise, 
crested with metallic ornaments and 
statues. The entire cost of the building 
was §1(»,000. 

Japanese Building.— (Page 235.)— 
This building is regarded as the tinest 
piece of carpenter-work evei seen in this 
country. The wood of wiiich it is built 
is most beautifully grained, and as 
smooth as satin. Everj^ portion of the 
building is most carefully fitted together, 
and the carving is truly wonderful. 
Some of our more progressive mechanics 
were inclined to ridicule the leisurely 
manner in which the Japanese workmen 
labored, but they find that if the work 
was done slowlv, it was done remarkablv 
well. 

Judges' Hall.— (Page 179.)— The ex- 
treme dimensions of this building are 
152 feet long by 114 feet wide. In the 
centre is a large and well-lighted hall for 
public meetings, lectures, Ac, and which 
is used by scientific and other societies 
holding their meetings in Philadelphia. 
Another aTid smaller hall is appropriated 
to meetings of the Centennial Commis- 
sioners, and if necessary the two halls 
can be thrown together, with accommo- 
dations for 700 persons. The gallery 
above furnishes accommodation for ladies. 
A series of rooms is arranged for the ac- 
commodation of the judges, each depart- 
ment having its own room, with every 
convenience. 

Kansas and Colorado State 
Building— (Page 107) occupies a plot of 
ground 132 by 132 I'eet. The building is 
an ornamental cottage, with a large circu- 
lar hall in the centre. Commodious 
apartments radiate in four directions from 
the central room, with numerous large 
private offices at their intersections. 

]VIaiu Exhibition Bnililing.— 
(Page 14.) — This is in the form of a par- 
allelogram, extending east and west 1,8.^0 
feet in length, and north and south 404

The foundations consist of 672 stone piers. 
The larger portion of the structure is one 
story in height, and shows the main cor- 
nice upon the outside at 45 feet above the 
ground, the interior heiglit being 70 feet. 
Upon the corners of the building there 
are four towers 75 feet in height, and be-

Machinery Hall.— (Page 65.)— This 
building was very rapidly built, showing 
the wonderful energy of American me- 
chanics. It was commenced April 13th, 
1875, and, on the 5th day of July follow- 
ing, it was so far completed as to enable a 
monster gathering of 50,000 people to as- 
semble beneath its roof, to celebrate, in 
appropriate manner, the natal day of our 
independence. The building is 300 feet 
wide by 1,402 feet long, with an annex on 
the south side of 208 by 210 feet. The en- 
tire area covered is 558,440 square feet, or

porting columns. A hallway 9 feet wide 
and 4B feet long runs through the centre 
of the liuilding, on each floor, on each

Old Iiulependeuce Rell.— (P.277.) 
— The bell, originally cast in England in 
1751, at a cost of one hundred pounds ster- 
ling, was ordered to be of 2,000 pounds 
weight. Before it w^as properly hung it 
was' cracked by a stroke of the clapper to 
try the sound, and was recast by Pars A 
Stow of Philadelphia. It was hung again 
in June, 1753. It contains the following 
inscription: " By order of the Assembly 
of the Province of Pennsylvania, for the 
State House in the City of Philadelphia, 
1752;" also, "Proclaini Liberty through- 
out all the land, and unto all the inhabi- 
tants thereof." The most important event 
connected with the bell is, that it rang to 
proclaim the birth of a nation, and the 
freedom of the American people from 
British oppression. It was broken in 
ringing for a fire. 

I'eiiiiM.ylvaiiia €oiniiii!«sioiiers' 
Building.— (Page 197.)— It is a wooden 
gotiiic building, 98 by 55 feet. It is sur- 
rounded by a tasteful piazza, six feet 
wide, and is ornamented with a central 
tower, flanked on each side by two smaller 
octagonal towers. The height to the eaves 
is 22 feet, to the peak of thn roof 39 feet, 
and to the top of the central tower 65 teet. 
The main hall is 30 Iw 50 feet, on the right 
of which are two rooms 20 by 20 feet each, 
intended for ladies' and gentlemen's par- 
lors, beautifully fltted up, and having 
dressing rooms and other conveniences 
attached. On the left are two committee- 
rooms, 20 by 27 feet. The State of Penn- 
sylvania appropriated §115,000 for its erec- 
tion. It is the headquarters of the Penn- 
sylvania State Commission. 

Feuu's Treaty with the Indians. 
— (Page 271.) — Although historians differ 
as to the precise locality where this treaty 
took place, it is pretty generally conceded 
to have occurred under the great elm 
tree at Shakamaxon, in the vicinity of 
Philadelphia, in the year 1682. This 
treaty was never broken for a period of 
forty or flfty years, and, during all that 
time the scalping knife and tomahawk 
was sheathed in peace with the white men 
of Penn's treaty. 

Photograph Art Studio. — (Page 
259.) — Itis a very handsome structure of 
wood and plaster, and is of a highly deco- 
rative style of architecture. It is one 
story high, situated on a terrace three feet 
above grade. The front portion of the 
building is reached by a wide stairway, 
and comprises a wide vestibule and re- 
ception-room, and on each of the latter a 
gallery 22 feet scjuare, for the exhibition 
of photographs. There are public and 
private otiices, dressing-rooms for ladies 
and gentlemen, and all tlieapi)urtenances 
of a rtrst-class i^hotographic gallery on a 
large scale.

331.) — Is211jy42 ffet, withaii addition to 
the rear off)'.; feetliy 19 feet, and an open 
porch in front (5 feet by 14 feet. There 
are in the building ladies' and gentle- 
men's waiting rooms, and a luggage room 
in the rear of entrance vestibule. It is 
built of solid timber, the frame-work 
showing on the outside. The roof is cov- 
ered with Pennsylvania black slate. The 
interior is very plain, the rooms being 
sheathed with narrow boards, the joints 
running horizontallv. The same mate- 
rial shows both inside and outside. No 
plaster has l)een used. 

Shoe and Iieatlier ItiiiUling.— Its 
size is 160 feet wide and 31-1 feet deep. In 
shape the building formsa parallelogram. 
The materials of its construction are wood, 
glass, and iron, and the style of architec- 
ture strictly American. The interior of 
the building presents an open space 256 
feet long and 160 feet wide. The roof is 
supported by columns 16 feet apart. The 
central section being a curve 80 feet wide 
of the Howe truss pattern, over wliich is 
a Louvre ventilator 20 feet wide, and run- 
ning the eutire length of the lauilding, 
and 59 feet above tiie ground. The llag- 
stafts are 80 feet high, and the pavilions 
respectively 20 and 30 feet in heiglit. 

Spaiiiiiili Biiilrting— (Page297)— Is a 
handsome structure, built in an octagonal 
form, 50 feet in diameter. It is occupied 
as the headquarters of the Spanish engi- 
neer-. 

Swedish School House. — (P. 255.) — 
This building was erected by the govern- 
ment of Sweden. It is composed entirely 
of wood, either polished or oiled, and was 
brought from Sweden prepared to be put 
together upon the grounds. The most sin- 
gular part of it is that it is impossible, 
on tlie exterior, to discover a nail or screw. 
The boards are beveled and so joined to- 
gether that no seams are visible. It is in- 
tended to keep scliooL there during the 
summer; genuine Swedish youths of 
both sexes, with teachers, will be 
brought over for tliat purpose. 

The OI«l Elm (p. 173) was one of the 
chief objects of interest in Boston Corii- 
7)1071. This great tree was certainly the 
oldest known tree in New England. It 
was large enough to find a place on the 
map engraved in 1722, and on the branch 
broken ort' by the gale of 1860 could be 
easily counted nearly two hundred rings. 
It is surmised that the supposed witch, 
Ann Itibbens, was hanged upon it in 1656, 
and if so it coukl hardly have been less 
than twenty-six years old, which would 
make Old Elm as old as the town of 
Boston. There was an iron fence put 
around the tree in 1854. Great care was 
taken to preserve it, but the high wind of 
Feb. 15, 1876, blew down the old land- 
mark. Hundreds of relic-seekers flocked 
tr> the Common to secure a piece of the 
old tree, and in a sliort time it was car- 
ried away root and branch. In April, 
1876, there was another elm planted on 
the spot of the Old Elm, and is called the 
Centennial Elm,

NATIONAL ODORLESS EXCAVATING APPARATUS, 

Patented January 12th, 1875, April 25th, 187(5, claim for their Apparatus : 

First. — Economy ; as we furnish a complete Apparatus for a less price than the cost 
of Hose used by any other apparatus, being simple in construction, and requiring but 
two men to work it. 

Second. — Convenience; as the Apparatus is transported on any ordinary Wagon, 
Dray, or Truck, and the operation of (!leaning a Well or Sink is done in thej'ard in the 
day time, and there is nothing on the street to indicate that such operation is going on ; 
consequently no one is annoyed by it. 

Third. — Rapidity; the work can be done in half of the time of any other method, 
barrels having been frequently filled in half a minute. 

Fourth.— Utility ; the tilled barrels can be transported by Wagon, Railroad, or Boat, 
emptied and returned. 

This Apparatus is for sale to all parties ; no Royalty. 

Information and terms furnished on application to
